This guide lists free, online tools that you can use to make online research easier. Not every tool works for every research project. Try a couple to see what works for you! Our CNU Librarians have used these tools before, so we are happy to help anytime!
Citation generators are apps that can create formatted bibliographies from a list of references. These are essential tools for research because they save you time on essays and research projects.
